Fluttershy was sitting in the kitchen patting Snafu on the back after she had fed him.

Silver walked in and saw her. “How are you this morning?” She asked.

Fluttershy looked at her daughter-in-law and started to blush. “Oh um… I’m ok.” She cradled Snafu and gave a shy smile. “I hope you slept alright.”

“The bed was kind of small but Doxy and I made it work.” She smiled and walked to the refrigerator. “I can make breakfast.”

“Are you sure? I was just getting Snafu fed before I made breakfast.”

“Not a problem.” Silver said as she started to get things out. “I’ll make my famous crepes with grapple-berries.”

“Sounds delicious.” Paradox said as he walked in. He saw his mom holding his brother and smiled. “Mom!” He went over and gave them both a hug.

“Good morning Dox.” Fluttershy whispered.

“It is a good morning, where is dad?” He asked as he took his brother from her.

“He’s probably still in bed.” She said as she sat back down on the chair.

Paradox held his brother and made faces at him. Snafu just giggled, flapped his gossamer wings and cooed. “I guess I’ll wait for him to get up then.”

Fluttershy stared at her son for a long moment when she finally spoke up. “Dox?”

He looked at her. “Yes?”

“I can’t help but notice that… um you have fangs now.” She said softly. “I don’t remember you having fangs like that.”

“It was pretty late last night when Silver and I got in here wasn’t it? You were already in bed.” He said. “Dad didn’t want to bother you I guess.”

She started to nod as she blushed. “Yes but… I woke up and heard… Oh never mind.” She put her hooves on her cheeks and turned around. “I am glad you and Silver are here. I miss seeing you.”

Silver giggled as she flipped the crepe and started to mix up some grapple-berries in a saucepan. “Sorry if Doxy and I kept you awake.”

The door opened to the kitchen as Discord walked in. He stopped in mid-step and looked at every pony in the room looking at him. “Okay… What did I do wrong?”

Paradox grinned. “Dad.” He gave Snafu back to Fluttershy. “I need to ask you something.”

“Okay, but I rather eat what is smelling really good right now.” He said as she looked at Silver cooking breakfast.

“It won’t take long Dad! Plus breakfast isn’t done yet.” He walked out of the kitchen hoping that Discord would follow him.

Discord sighed and looked at Fluttershy, she shrugged and he slumped as he followed his son back out of the kitchen. “What is it son?”

Paradox sat on the couch and sighed. “I got to ask you something. You know I’m not very good at magic and I am constantly learning. I just need to ask you something important and I don’t know how to word it.”

Discord’s eye brow went up as he sat down in the chair across from his son. “Ok, try to explain it to me.”

Paradox made a slight face he still had a difficult time with adjusting to the fangs. “Last night while I was um… petting Silver’s stomach… I kept getting shocked and…” He stopped talking when his father’s eyes widened.

Discord grinned as he got a normal face again. “Please… Continue.”

“Anyway… I thought maybe if I pet her in a different place I’d get shocked, but I only got this weird shock when I touched her stomach and…” He noticed his father’s eyes had widened again. “Dad you know what it means…”

Discord gave a huge sigh and he started to shake his head. “Yes… I know what it means.” He closed his mouth and started to suddenly snicker.

Paradox blinked. “What does it mean? You have to tell me!”

“Fluttershy!” Discord yelled.

“Dad… Why are you calling mom in here for?” Paradox said harshly.

Fluttershy flew into the room quickly thinking something was wrong. “What is it?” She was holding Snafu and she slowly landed when she saw that Discord was starting to laugh. “Discord? Why did you yell for me?”

“This is just something you need to know.” Discord motioned for his wife to come closer to him. She trotted over and he leaned into her and whispered into her ear.

“Mom!” Paradox said in a panic as she looked at him. “What does it mean Dad?” He looked to his father.

“You have nothing to worry about Paradox.” Discord said as he put his finger on Fluttershy’s lips just as she was going to say something. “I’ll tell him a few minutes Fluttershy my love. I like watching him worry.”

“Don’t be mean to your son.” Fluttershy said. “Tell him or I will go in there and tell Silver.” She frowned.

“One of you two tell me!” Paradox shouted.

Discord let out a sigh. “Okay.” He got up and picked Fluttershy up.

She let out a giggle as she held Snafu close to her chest. “Discord! No… let me down.”

He placed his paw on her tummy and started to rub it. “This is your Mom’s stomach.” Discord said to Paradox.

“Yeah Dad… I know that.” Paradox shook his head. “I don’t see what that has to do with me and Silver.

“Whenever your mom had become pregnant I knew it because I felt her belly and it gave shocks over my paw pads. The stronger the shocks the healthier the fetus.” He kissed Fluttershy as she blushed. “No shocks dear.” He said to her as he slowly put her back down on the floor.

Paradox stared at his father and his eye twitched slightly.
“Oh… I think I broke him Fluttershy.” Discord said as he saw the blank look on Paradox’s face.

Fluttershy looked at her son. “Dox? Are you alright?” She put her hoof in front of his face.

Paradox blinked but still didn’t say anything. His mind was racing, he remembered the shocks on his paw several times last night. Slowly he closed his mouth and swallowed.

“You can handle it.” Discord said. “Congrats Dox.” He pat him on the back.

“Uh… Dad are you sure about that?” He finally said.

“Oh definitely. You’re going to be a father. So when are you going to tell your wife?”

Discord had his paw on his muzzle as he looked at the situation, he was trying really hard not to laugh out loud. He looked at Silver and saw her worried face and then looked at his son’s hoof that was sticking out the broken front door. He leaned against the hoof then coughed a couple times as if trying to control his impulse to start laughing. “So… What do you want me to do?” He tried to look serious but he kept grinning and making a strangled snorting laugh.

“Is that Dad?” Paradox asked loudly. He didn’t wait for an answer. “Dad? Can you help me? I’m stuck.”

Discord snickered. “Dox, you’re a draconequus remember?”

“You don’t think I tried?” Paradox muttered to his father. “My magic has no effect on it.”

“Try many times; the punishment will not fit his crime.” Zecora said as she walked up.

“Crime? What crime?” Silver asked.

“I just borrowed those! Um… you know I’d pay for them later.” Paradox mumbled. “You said you wouldn’t help me.”

“No premade potion would help you. You put yourself in this fine stew.” Zecora chuckled as she looked at Paradox’s paw.

“Paradox, you disappoint me and your mother.” Discord sighed. “If you wanted to be larger all you had to do is snap your fingers.” He grew dragon sized.

“I didn’t want to be larger. I just want out of this house, can you at least give me that relief?” he moved his leg and it broke the front of the house.

Discord shrunk down to normal. He looked at Zecora and the zebra nodded. He snapped his fingers and Paradox disappeared then reappeared outside of the cottage. The cottage made a loud noise and half of it collapsed.

“My cottage.” Silver gasped then looked at Paradox. He was bigger than a full grown dragon as he stood up and stretched. “Doxy?!”

“Silver?” He asked as he slowly sat down to look at them all. He put out his paw to her and she was dwarfed by it. She looked at Zecora and Discord then stepped on to his paw. He lifted her up. “I’m so sorry, I was stupid.”

“Why Doxy? I don’t understand why you stole the potion.” Silver said. “Were you trying to impress me? If that was the case, I really don’t need you to impress me.”

“No. This was an unintentional potion. I didn’t really want to take it. I… wanted a potion that…” He stopped.

Zecora was looking up. “He’ll grow, until he lets her know.”

Discord’s ears went forward as he looked at Zecora. “Did I ever tell you, how much I hate your rhymes?”

The zebra just smiled at him.

Paradox blinked when he noticed that he was getting larger. “Honest, I went to Zecora to get a potion that would keep me from getting you pregnant. I don’t want a baby.”
“What, but Doxy why? I thought that… you just wanted to wait. But you don’t ever want a child? Ever?” She blinked back tears.

She sat on his paw and just looked at him. Sadness on her face. “Why? You can tell me. I love you.”

He let out a sigh. “I know you knew me when we were little and I ignored you. I’m sorry. Before that faithful night when you offered to help me up… I was terribly sick. Several times I attempted to take my life.” He didn’t notice but he started to shrink.

“Doxy you didn’t need to…”

“I know, I had terrible nightmares during my sickness and one of those nightmares it was revealed to me that if I was to have any offspring that they will become the monster that I was meant to be.”

She looked at him. “You were never a monster.”

He closed his eyes. “You are telling me this after I had destroyed our home and I’m this size? I’m a monster right now.”

She shook her head. “No, you’re not. You don’t understand Doxy… you’re only a monster if you believe you are. I don’t believe you’re a monster, your family doesn’t. You have a beautiful soul; I wouldn’t have fallen in love with a monster.” She noticed that his paw was shrinking and she flapped her wings when he couldn’t hold her easily.

“Thank you Silver, but I still don’t think we should have children.” He muttered as he shrank down a little more.

“We can talk about it more. Please. Don’t make the decision by yourself, we’re partners.” He was staying at one size. Still bigger than usual but she was looking at him eye to eye. “Okay Doxy?”

He looked at her and smiled. “Okay… I just noticed that I shrank.”

She nodded. “Yes, you did, though you still look bigger than before.” She blushed.

“I do?” He asked as he looked down at himself. His fur was shaggy and long, his teeth still sharp and caused him to lisp still. His claws wouldn’t retract all the way.

“You have been permanently changed by the potion Dox.” Discord said.

“What? How?” He asked his father as he placed his paw on his head, his horns had grown in completely.

“Chaos…” Discord grinned. “I knew you had it in you.”

“Seems I’m going to have to work on a version two of hyper huge potion brew.” Zecora chuckled softly. “Paradox? Maybe you should have come down with cutie pox?

“Whoa, that’s a thing?” Paradox asked and he made a face when he almost bit his tongue.

The little cottage over-looked Bright Eye Lake. It was perfectly maintained and the unicorn pony that tended it walked up to it and knocked. There was no answer, he didn’t expect one but it was always safe to check first. Especially since the draconequus had paid him a fair amount of bits to rent the cottage out for a week.

He was checking the food stores, making sure it was well stocked as per agreement. He also made sure everything looked clean and organized. He looked at the bed, it was put together properly clean sheets, soft pillows. He nodded as everything looked put together. He remembered the conversation.

“I need you to make sure it looks perfect. This is for my son and he needs everything right for his honeymoon.” Discord said as he looked at the cottage.

“It will be done sir. When should I be expecting your son and his new bride?” He asked.

“He gets married in a week.” Discord muttered as he inspected the door. “He will be arriving by magic, and probably in the late evening. The food should be well stocked, plenty of water available and a lot of privacy.”

“I’ll have everything ready sir.” The unicorn pony answered as Discord gave him a bag of bits.

Discord nodded, “Very good. Do not disturb them when they get here.”

“I will not. Here is the key.”

The unicorn pony walked away from the cottage after making sure it looked perfect. He probably won’t be back until after the week had passed to clean up.

Paradox was holding Silver as they appeared just outside the ballroom. The guards looked at them and then they saluted them. “Lord Paradox, Lieutenant Silver Dash.”

Silver started to giggle as Paradox set her down. “At ease, geez guys this is my wedding day, relax a little bit.”

“We cannot sir, you and Paradox’s safety is paramount to anything else.” One guard said.

“You have permission to go eat cake.” Silver smiled.

Paradox was snickering. “They called you sir.”

She shook her head. “They’re not used to me yet. Next one calls me sir I’ll box their ears. She looked at the one that called her a sir.”

The one that called Silver “sir” gulped. “Sorry ma’am.”

“Is any pony going to announce us or?” Paradox asked.

The other guard’s eyes widened. “Oh yes!” He opened the door and went in.

Paradox looked at Silver and smiled. He was already starting to get excited again and bit his lower lip.

“Mr. and Mrs. Paradox.” A pony announced inside.

Silver started to walk in, but Paradox picked her up and carried her in. “I love to carry you.”

The ballroom was full of cheers and congratulations as they both went to the table. Paradox put her on the floor and pulled the chair out for her. She graciously sat down and smiled as he sat next to her.

He grinned. “Yeah. I know.” He was fidgeting in his seat and leaned over to Silver and whispered in her ear.

Silver’s eyes widened as her face turned red. “Doxy…”

He grinned as he got the reaction he wanted. “Heh.”

Fluttershy walked over. “Paradox.”

He sat up and smiled. “Hi mom.”

“What took you and Silver so long to get here? The castle isn’t that big.” She asked as she held Snafu.

“I know, but just following some advice dad gave me.” He replied.

Fluttershy frowned. “Oh, well I’ll have to give him a stern talking to.”

Paradox reached out. “Let me hold my brother.”

She smiled as she passed Snafu over to Paradox. “He’s wide awake now, but being quiet.”

“Hey bro. Sup?” Paradox said as he held his brother. He didn’t notice Silver looking at him as he held the foal.

“Doxy, you’d make a good daddy.” Silver blushed.

Paradox looked up. “Um… nope. Just a good older brother.” He gave his brother a kiss and held him up to show him to Silver. “That is your sister in law. She’s my wife. She’s super sexy hot.”

The foal giggled and blinked at Silver. Silver smiled as she reached out and took Snafu from Paradox. “Hey little brother.” She gave him a little kiss on the muzzle. She then handed the foal back to Fluttershy. “Back to mommy.”

Fluttershy smiled to herself as she took Snafu back. She wanted to put the thought in one of their heads to having a baby. Discord appeared next to her. “What are you doing?”

She giggled at him. “Nothing.”

Discord shook his head. “Fluttershy, we already have grandchildren…”

“I know but…” She whispered.

Discord sighed at his wife. “Run along.” He patted her flank she giggled as she carried Snafu back to her seat.

Discord sighed as he watched her. “We have enough grandchildren…” He muttered then looked at Paradox and Silver. “Right?”

Paradox was nodding fast. Silver just looked at her father in law with big eyes. “I… um… guess so?”

Discord nodded as he walked away. Paradox looked at Silver. “Are you alright?”

“Of course. Today is my day. I got to marry you and that makes me the happiest mare in the world. You’re my dream come true.” She was tearing up as she said it.

He watched as his bride was crying he didn’t know what to do. “Silver, um… don’t cry. D-Did I do something wrong?”

She wiped her tears. “No, I’m just so happy!” She started to bawl and every pony stopped and looked at them.

Rainbow Dash flew over to the table faster than any pony else. “Paradox! What did you do to Silver?”

“Where is the bride and groom?” Pinkie and Sprinkle said in unison. Both mother and daughter were pacing opposite one another as they waited.

“Don’t worry so much.” Fluttershy said as she held Snafu and watched Pinkie and Sprinkle pace. “They know about the reception. They’ll be here.”

Twilight helped Celestia walk into the ballroom. “Just sit here Princess, I’ll be right back with some tea for you.”

Luna walked over to her sister. “How are thee?”

Celestia looked at her sister. “I could be better. I shouldn’t have let you and Twilight talk me into coming to the wedding. I’m exhausted by just sitting up.”

“’Tis was best ye had been here. The ponies respect thee and seeing thee has made them less frightened on the future of the kingdom.” Luna stated as she sat with her sister. “Discord has been a good replacement until thou returns. There was never a doubt that ye would return.”

‘Silver is so beautiful why would she even want me? Oh she’s right next to me looking at me, oh I’m so scared, and I’m going to start freaking out. I’m going to…’ the thoughts ran through Paradox’s mind quickly.

Luna spread out her wings and smiled. “We are gathered here to unite two souls. Who is giving this lovely bride away?”

There was a loud bawling from the front row of the seating. Every pony looked and saw Rainbow Dash bawling while Rarity pat her on the back. “Darling you’re making a scene.”

“My little girl!” Rainbow Dash cried. “She is so beautiful! Waaah!”

Silver grinned then whispered. “Mom… geez.”

“Okay, I’m okay.” Rainbow Dash muttered as she sniffled and Big Mac went to sit down next to her. She leaned on him and started to sniffle again. “Mac! Our daughter’s getting married!” She started crying again as she hugged him.

He patted Rainbow Dash. “Eeyup. Calm down Dash.”

Apple Jack leaned forward because she was sitting behind them. “How come ya’ll kept this a secret from me?” She whispered.

“You never asked.” Rainbow Dash whispered in between sobs.

“Ahem.” Luna continued. “These two lovely young souls are committed to be wed this lovely evening, Young Lord Paradox and Young Lieutenant Silver Dash.” She smiled at both of them. “If there is a pony who thinks these two should not be wed thou shall speak now, or be forever silent.”

Discord sat up and looked at the audience menacingly. No pony said anything.

Silver was looking at Paradox and he was looking at her. She saw him shaking slightly but he stared at her intently with his deep azure eyes. She was marrying him, she’ll wake up next to him, hug him and kiss him daily. She loved him so much.

Paradox was shaking so much. He shook his paws a bit because he felt sweaty in between his pads. He looked at her as she stood there and saw her eyes, she was looking into his. Her eyes beautiful pools of silver and magenta. He wanted to kiss her, he needed to kiss her.

Luna smiled and looked at Paradox. “Do thou Paradox take Silver to be your wife?”

Paradox blinked when he realized that Luna was talking to him. “Huh?”

Luna tried not to giggle. “Do thou take Silver to be your wife?”

“Oh! Gods yes! How can I not? She’s smoking hot!” He said.

Luna’s eyes widened. “Hmm, well then ye said yes.” She looked at Silver Dash. “Do thou take Paradox to be your husband?”

Silver blushed as she nodded. “Yes. I do.”

“The rings?” Luna said.

Crispin handed Paradox the ring, and Sprinkle Icing gave Silver a ring.

“The exchanging of rings to bind the souls together, to symbolize their bond. The circle is to represent the eternal love they have for one another. These two souls have consented to the arrangements of the ceremony we give all in attendance; Mr. and Mrs. Paradox. Mare and Draconequus. Ye can kiss thou’s wife.” Luna stepped back.

Paradox pulled Silver to him and kissed her deeply.Silver melted into his kiss as he pulled her close to him. It was as if they were the only two in the room. She didn’t hear the noise of ponies cheering all she cared about was he was now her husband. When they stopped kissing he just looked into her eyes and smiled. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She whispered back as she blushed. “My Doxy.”

He leaned up to her ear. “I cannot begin to tell you how pent up I am. Gods…”

She blushed. “Oh my goodness Doxy. We still have to go to the ballroom for the reception.”

He grinned at her. “Hmm, I know.”

The wedding procession started to file out of the throne room and Paradox was becoming anxious. He glanced at his father.

Discord smiled at his son. He made a motion with his paw and claw as if he was lifting something and he jogged in place. Paradox blinked. Discord sighed; he disappeared and then reappeared on Paradox’s shoulder dressed as an angel and in a miniature size. “Pick up your wife and run for it.” He said.

“What? Why?” Paradox asked.

“Dox, do I need to draw you a picture?” He asked as he pointed at Silver Dash. “Pick up your wife and disappear then show up in the ballroom later.”

“Oh… OH!” He grinned as he picked Silver up. Discord disappeared from his shoulder.

“Doxy! What’re you doing?” Silver giggled.

“I’m taking you.” He said as they disappeared and then reappeared at his old bedroom. His bed was made as he walked her over to it and set her down on it.

She smiled at him. “Doxy, I’m in my wedding dress, I don’t want to ruin it.”

“I’ll be careful. I…” He looked at the dress and tilted his head. “How do I get it off of you?”

She started to giggle. “After we go to the reception I’ll take it off for you.”

“Aww, Silver, you’re teasing me.” He muttered. “I want you bad.”

“Believe me Doxy, I want you too, but it’s not good to avoid your own party. I’ll make it up to you.” She motioned him over to her.

He got closer to her. “Yes?”

She took her hoof and pulled his tuxedo pants down to reveal his arousal. “Oh, is that for me?” She asked.

Paradox nodded as he looked down at her. “Yes. Silver, I ache just to be in you. Oh gods…” He moaned out when she rubbed her hot tongue on his tip.

Silver opened her mouth more as she rubbed her tongue slowly over his tip and then down his shaft, she kissed him softly then took him gently into her mouth.

“Uhh, mmm, gods Silver.” He shuddered as he thrust his hips to her, pushing himself deeper into her hot mouth.

She looked up at him as she sucked him into her mouth and pulled back letting him push into her mouth again. Her tongue caressed rubbing over and around his shaft as she slowly pulled back sliding him out and slowly sucked him back in.

He was panting with pleasure as she worked her mouth over him. Every sensation of her tongue causing a shock of pleasure through his body. “Oh, I’m going to burst.” He moaned out and looked down at her.

She opened her mouth as she licked his tip again rubbing her tongue around his head and over the ridge of the tip she lapped up the precum and closed her mouth around him again.

“Uhh… Silver your mouth… ah.” He shuddered all over. Every nerve in his body was ultra-sensitive and he jolted when she took him deeply into her throat and ran her tongue along the bottom of him as she pulled back. She started to move her mouth as to stimulate him thrusting into her. He knew the pattern and started to push and pull on his own as his orgasm built up.

She let him take over but she continued to move her tongue around and against him, letting him push into her deep as she felt him swell, she relaxed her throat as he panted and moved faster.

Paradox placed his paw on her head. “Oh… uhh… ffff… Silver!” He growled as he pushed deeply into her muzzle and released his pent up desires.

Silver started to swallow his heated desires tasting him as he emptied into her mouth and down her throat. When he was done she pulled back still swallowing him and slowly cleaning his member with her tongue. “Do you feel less pent up?” She asked him as she licked her lips.

“Oh yes…” He moaned as he looked at his beautiful bride. “I think I can cope until later.”

Paradox was breathing heavily. “I don’t know if I can do this.” He said as he walked to his spot on the dais.

“Yer fine.” Crispin spoke up. “She’s probably as nervous as ya are.”

Paradox began to fidget “What if she doesn’t want to marry me? What if she runs away? What if I am not cut out to be a husband?”

“We cannot base our life on what ifs. It’s best we dive right into it and hope for the best. Embrace a little bit of chaos along the way.” Discord said as he walked up to his son. “Don’t worry Dox, you’ll do as well as I did.”

“As well as you?” He asked.

“Oh yes. All this…” Then something appeared in his paw, he opened it and started to eat crispy fried potatoes. “And a bag of chips.”

“Dad…” Paradox sighed and shook his head as Crispin looked shocked.

“I got your mind off of the wedding temporarily.” Discord said as he walked back to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy had her grandchildren in a baby carriage. She looked in on them and smiled. She then adjusted the baby sling on her chest with her own infant. All were sleeping. Trouble was the most difficult to get to sleep being that he was the oldest of the three. Silver Dash wanted LillyRose and Grace to be her bride matrons. Paradox wanted Zero and Flight Strike as his ushers. So Fluttershy volunteered to watch the foals.Twilight trotted over to Fluttershy. “Do you need any help?” she whispered.

“No, right now I’m fine. They are all asleep I’m hoping they stay asleep until after the ceremony.” she whispered back. “The place looks very beautiful. I’d have my birds sing for the wedding but I have my hooves full. Plus I don’t think Paradox likes birds singing.”

Twilight laughed lightly. “Anything you do for your son, he’d love.”

“Thank you Twilight.” Fluttershy whispered as she rolled the stroller back and forth.

“I’ll send over Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to help you with the foals.” Twilight stated.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that.” Fluttershy blushed.

“Fluttershy, your son is getting married, I think you need to do more than foal sit.” She whispered.

114.

The organ started to play rather spooky music every pony looked over to see Discord playing it dressed in a long cape and wearing a half mask. He stopped playing for a moment and hissed. “Don’t look at me! I’m hideous!” He then started to laugh as he disappeared letting the original organ player take a seat and start playing more appropriate music for the wedding.

Discord appeared in front of Fluttershy. “Hey sweetness? Looks like you have your hooves full of cute foals. Let me hold ours for you.”

She gave him the foal from the sling. “He’s asleep.” She whispered.

Discord smiled at the foal as he cradled him. “Little Snafu. Are you gonna behave while your big brother gets married?”

“Don’t wake him up.” Fluttershy warned him as she looked in on Trouble and Rune Eclipse. Rune Eclipse was snuggled up against her cousin Trouble.

Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle walked up to them. “Twilight sent us over here to help ya.” Apple Bloom said.

“Hmm. Hello.” Discord said to the three mares. “Yes, my wife would like to have a little help with foal sitting.”

“In here sir.” The guard opened a door and Big Mac walked in and stopped short when he saw Crispin and Paradox looking at him.

“Howdy.” He said and quickly went to where the tuxedos were.

Paradox followed him without saying anything as he scowled.

Crispin just smiled. “Howdy uncle. Whatcha doing?”

“It seems the bride wants me to give her away.” He looked over at Paradox.

“Interesting.” Paradox mumbled as he rubbed his chin. “Why would she want you? When she could have asked my dad? Since he’s been like a father to her, since she doesn’t really know her ‘real’ father.”

Mac put on the vest and looked at Paradox. “Are ya angry at me? If ya are I’d like to know.”

Crispin looked confused. “Uncle Mac? Why did ya keep it a secret?”

“Apple Bloom knew.” Big Mac answered.

Paradox growled as he put his paws up in frustration. “Yes and that makes everything all better! His younger sister knew…” He turned and walked into the other room while mumbling to himself.“So, I’m guessing that he’s mad at me?”

Crispin laughed. “Nah, he’s not. He’s just making a scene. His pa is the same.”

Discord suddenly appeared. “Big Mac! I knew you were her father! I won the bet!” There was a sudden shower of bits falling from the ceiling down on them. “It was the family resemblance right on those cute cheeks.” He pinched Big Mac’s cheeks.

Discord laughed. “I’m not as clueless as some of the ponies here in Ponyville. I knew as soon as Rainbow Dash was showing.”

“Then ya’d know who my pa is?” Crispin asked suddenly.

Discord blinked at Crispin. “I do, but it is not my place to inform you.”

Paradox looked in. “Dad! What are you doing?”

Discord put his arm around Big Mac. “Talking to my good friend Mac! Look at him, he’s gonna be facing his biggest challenge, his daughter. I’m lending him my support. Just be yourself big guy.” He ruffled Mac’s mane and let him go. “Get ready, I hate to have this wedding be delayed for too long.”

Paradox rolled his eyes and left the room again. “I’m already ready Dad! It’s the deadbeat that needs to get ready.”

“Hey now!” Big Mac yelled.

“Tut! It’s ok Mac… Dox doesn’t know the whole story.” Discord patted Big Mac on his back. “Just get ready and everything will turn out for the best.” He snapped his fingers and disappeared.
